Addresses Forum
‘Rehabilitating Religion’ Discussed in Philosophy Lecture
“One of the great problems facing the world today is whether there will be any faith left at all in large areas of the earth after the present war,” explains Dr. Walter G. Muelder, professor of Christian theology and Christian ethics, who is giving the second lecture of the Philosophy forum today at 4:15 p.m. in Bowne hall, Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy.
In his lecture, “Rehabilitating Religion,” Dr. Muelder will discuss what is happening to religion now, the responsibility of religion during the present crisis, and the role of religious rehabilitation after the conflict.
“The Hitler youth of today have great faith in their leader, and this faith has replaced religion. After the war, when Germany and her allies are defeated, these youths will be greatly disillusioned. The problem before religion is what will happen to this faith and where will it turn,” the speaker said in referring to his topic.
MORALLY UNPREPARED
“Other-worldly sectarianism, which is not interested in building for the postwar period, is morally unprepared to grapple with the religious problems of people now or in the postwar era,” he continued.
“If the church is to be vital,” Dr. Muelder said, “it must provide a sanction for those ethical ideals which condemn society and which call for a new order. To discuss and to praise the ideals of a new society without working in practice to bring them about is mere sentimentality.
CHOICE GIVEN
“The tendency of the church is to hold both to responsibility of loyalty to government and to the rights of the religious conscientious objector. Many churches are making loyalty pronouncements and are supporting the rights of the individual to do types of service other than military.”
In referring to the role that a religious man may play in defense, Dr. Muelder said:
“A Christian has the choice of obeying God or being patriotic to his country—he cannot sincerely do both.”
The current philosophy form was all planned prior to Dec. 7 on a different academic theme, Dr. Paul R. Helsel, associate professor of philosophy, who is directing the program, said. The former program was discarded after that date, and the series of lectures was adjusted so that it1 would be timely and in accordance with the existing war conditions.
DR. CARLTON RODEE—Wednesday lecturer.
War Ideologies Provide Theme for Lecture
Cultural Nationalism Explained by Rodee in Wednesday Series
Cultural nationalism and the stress laid upon it as a contributing factor to war is an illustration Prof. Carlton C. Rodee will use in outlining “Political Ideologies and the War,” the theme of tomorrow’s Wednesday lecture, which will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the art and lecture room of Doheny library.
Presenting three basic points of the discussion, Professor Rodee will name the consideration of the casual factor of the war, the tools of modern warfare, and reconstruction ideologies.
EXAMPLE GIVEN
One example of cultural nationalism that he will give is the tendency to stress ideological differences between peoples, thus engendering hatreds among them.
The resistance of England against the acceptance of Russian ideals indicates the strength of an ideology, Professor Rodee will point out.
In considering reconstruction ideologies, he will mention the problems that confront peace conferences, such as what is to be done with the Russian communistic ideals. This includes a nations international outlook and its domestic attitude.
SKETCHES IDEOLOGIES
Dr. Rodee will sketch ideologies other than the conception of economic difficulties as the major cause of war in his consideration of the background points that led up to World war I.
The reconstruction ideologies wUl include a nation’s attitude toward other countries, and the policies within the domestic homeland.
This marks the second appearance of Dr. Rodee on the Wednesday lecture program. He spoke on the economic factors contributing to German tactics in the 1939 lecture series.

“This war proves that the liberal policy of the United States toward its possessions has been the most expedient in the long run,” Mrs. Lim stated emphatically. “We have been thankful for the period of the commonwealth because it has given us time to raise an army and make the necessary economic adjustments which are so vital to our existence. This has been due to the wisdom of President Roosevelt.”

Attacked off Coast
Navy Releases News of Sub Engagement Near San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2 —(U.P.)—A hostile craft believed to be an enemy submarine attacked the Standard Oil tanker William H. Berg with gunfire and the tanker returned the fire with its deck guns in an engagement off the central California coast
late last Saturday night, the navy announced today. The tanker was not hit. Fate of the attackers was not known.
The tanker was attacked without warning but was not hit, Admiral Greenslade said.
Gun crews of the William H. Berg returned the fire promptly but the assailant craft was practically invisible in the darkness and effectiveness of the tanker’s fire could not be ascertained.
FIRES BACK
It was believed to be the first reported instance in which a U. S. tanker fired back with its deck gun at an assailant vessel since the government began arming ‘merchantmen.
Admiral Greenslade said the action took place 33 miles southeast of the Farallon islands, which lie nearly 30 miles west of San Francisco.
U. S. navy surface vessels and a squadron of naval patrol bombers rushed to the scene of the battle with all possible speed, Greenslade said, “but the enemy craft had disappeared after the initial engagement.”
RADIOS SILENCED
“The fact that patrol bombers were unable to locate the craft in a subsequent search appeared to confirm the presumption that she was a submarine,” said Admiral Greenslade.
San Francisco bay area radio stations went off the air between 11:01 and 11:40 p.m. Saturday.
Greenslade said the radio silence was ordered to prevent the enemy from taking navigational bearings.
The navy statement:
“An engagement off the California coast 33 miles southeast of Farallon islands in which an American tanker exchanged fire with a vessel believed to be an enemy submarine was disclosed today by Rear Adm. J. W. Greenslade.
“The engagement took place late Saturday night, Feb. 28.

Dutch Assume Supreme Coi as Allied General takes Me
WASHINGTON, March 2—(U.P.) veil has been sent back to the vital fense of Burma and India, and the preme command of the attempt of 1 ercome three Japanese armies whic
last allied stronghold Jn the Nether- I -
lands Indies, it was announced tonight.
The announcement was made simultaneously in London and Washington by the British, Dutch, and American governments and was accompanied by an assurance that the defenders of Java “will continue to receive all assistance that can be made available by the united nations.”
The change consolidated defense of the hard-pressed island, one of the richest areas of the world, in the hands of men who have spent much of their lives preparing tor the task. It also strengthened British prospects in Burma and India and probably will reassure China which now depends upon India as a major source for military supplies.
SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED
The announcement did not name Wavell’s successor but it was explained by official Dutch circles that under the Netherlands East Indies constitution the command automatically would pass to Gov.
Gen. A. W. L. Tjarda Van Starken-borgh.
“The Dutch are continuing to receive all available assistance from the united nations,” the announcement said.
U. S. LEADER RELIEVED
It was the second and most drastic change thus far in the united nations command. U. S. Admiral Thomas C. Hart gave up command of the allied fleet last month because of poor health. His command was taken over by Dutch Vice-Admiral C. E. L. Helfrich.
There was no hint in the announcement that Wavell was being held personally responsible for the poor allied showing at Singapore and in Malaya, or for the fact that in a few weeks the Japanese have been able to overrun most of the Indies and even invade Java.
The brief explanation said:
“After the loss of Malaya and the entry of the Japanese into Sumatra (one of the largest islands in the Indies, flanking the Malayan peninsula), which separated Burma from the Netherlands East Indies, it was agreed that command of land, sea, and air forces of the united nations in the Netherlands East Indies should pass to the Dutch, who are continuing to receive all available assistance from the united nations.”

The intellectual standard of the Peruvian public is a low invited one and that holds true in the majority of the Latin Amer- ■ to the sti ican countries, declared Dr. Estuardo Nunez, professor of lit- Arrange erature at the University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru, when he visited the SC campus yesterday.
Dr. Nunez will be in Los Angeles
all this week and will return to SC on Thursday afternoon when he will address members of the Pan-American league and their guests at a meeting at 3:30 p.m. in the lounge of the Student Union.
At a luncheon held in the Peruvian professors honor yesterday, Dr. Harry Silke welcomed him for Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid. Translating the welcoming message was Dr. Octavio Mendez Pereira.
Dr. Nunez said that people of Peru, even those of the upper classes, have not acquired the “reading habit,” as he termed it. Because of this there is very little demand for literature of any sort and writers do not find a market for their works.
